Mixed medal fruit bowls

Kindergarten and 1st graders learned about one of my favorite artists, Henri Matisse, and his eclectic style. 

 They used a texture plate to separate the wall from table, then cut paper (so e of it was also textured) into fruit and designed a bowl. 

Mouse Paint! Color mixing at its best

One of my favorite books is Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh.  It's a great way to explain color mixing. 

Students started by painting one part of their paper red, one part yellow, and one part blue.  When the colors mixed, they made orange, green, and purple!

Then we ripped mice out of paper.  Kids loved them!
